October 527 CE

Overt Roman–Persian fighting had broken out in the Transcaucasus region and upper Mesopotamia by 526–527.

The early years of war favor the Persians: by 527, the Iberian revolt has been crushed, a Roman offensive against Nisibis and Thebetha in this year is unsuccessful, and forces trying to fortify Thannuris and Melabasa are prevented from doing so by Persian attacks.

Attempting to remedy the deficiencies revealed by these Persian successes, the new Roman emperor, Justinian I, reorganizes the eastern armies.
